What is Acetron GP?
Acetron® GP is MCAM’s (Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials Formerly Quadrant EPP) general purpose copolymer acetal and is the only porosity-free acetal product available today. Investments in process technology by Quadrant now provide the performance and machinability of acetal without center core porosity.
Is Acetron the same as Delrin?
Delrin®, a homopolymer acetal, offers slightly higher mechanical properties than Acetron® GP acetal, but may contain a low density center, especially in larger cross-sections. Acetron® GP acetal also offers better chemical resistance than homopolymer acetal.
Is Acetron and acetal the same?
Acetron® GP is a copolymer acetal. This general purpose acetal is the only porosity-free acetal product available. This allows it to provide the performance and machinability of acetal without the center core porosity. DuPont Delrin® is a homopolymer acetal.
Is Delrin the same as HDPE?
While HDPE Sheet and Acetal Sheet look similar, they perform quite a bit differently. Acetal is commonly known as: Delrin Homopolymer Acetal, Tecaform AH,Ensital, Unital, Pomalux, Ultraform and many more. HDPE is also known as: Ultraethylux, Densetec, Polystone G, Fortiflex, Versadur, Hostalen, and many more.
Is Delrin stronger than aluminum?
Is Delrin Stronger Than Aluminum? In purely technical terms, aluminum is far stronger than Delrin, but depending on the application, Delrin parts can substitute certain aluminum parts.
Can you laser cut Delrin?
Delrin® Overview Laser cutting Delrin® with a 10.6 micron wavelength CO2 laser produces clean cuts with smooth edges. Laser engraving Delrin® with a 10.6 micron wavelength CO2 laser can produce a high degree of detail and relief. A 1.06 micron wavelength Fiber laser can be used to laser mark Delrin® in certain cases.
Is Delrin stronger than ABS?
Delrin (DuPont’s brand of acetal) and ABS are both plastics. Delrin is referred to as an “engineering” plastic because it is stronger and more resistant to distortion under load. ABS is “commodity” plastic because it is cheaper and easier to mold, however because of it’s flexibility, is relatively hard to break.
Can a co2 laser cut Delrin?
Laser cutting Delrin® with a 10.6 micron wavelength CO2 laser produces clean cuts with smooth edges. Laser engraving Delrin® with a 10.6 micron wavelength CO2 laser can produce a high degree of detail and relief. A 1.06 micron wavelength Fiber laser can be used to laser mark Delrin® in certain cases.
Is Delrin HDPE?
Is ABS easy to machine?
Properties of ABS Plastics ABS is perhaps best known for its toughness and impact resistance. Because it is easy to machine and readily accepts paints and adhesives, ABS is commonly used for part prototyping. Thanks to its relatively low melting temperature, it is also a popular material for 3D printing.
Can you bend Delrin with heat?
Yes, Delrin can be heated and bent but you should be careful not to heat it too close to its melting point where it will turn into a liquid.
Can you cut Delrin with a laser?
Is ABS stronger than Delrin?
Why choose quadrant EPP for acetal?
